Nine times out of 10, the user won't be using 1024 x 768.

   Dimension screenDimensions = 
        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

Java isn't very good at setting machine settings.  You'll
notice that there aren't any "set" equivalents to the 
get methods in the class, Toolkit.  The other class by you
might expect to set some system properties, "System"
doesn't offer much help either.  
   
The only way to set something like screen resolution is
through native calls.  JConfig is only cross-platform library 
that I know of is which helps you set such system properties.

I haven't used it, but a good number on the MRJ-Dev list (Apple)
have and seem to be pretty happy with it.
